...first refused to believe that OPEC had split into a two-tiered pricing system. Some experts hailed the news as a sign of OPEC'S breakup. Said Noboyuki Nakahara, a senior executive of one of Japan's largest oil refineries: "If true, [the split] could mean a virtual collapse of the OPEC price structure."

Throughout the album, he acts as composer, singer, instrumentalist and producer. Despite his multiple involvement, Songs has all the spontaneity and relaxation of a jumping jamboree. Indeed, there has not been a pop album this good or this diversified since Wonder's Fulfillingness's First Finale in 1974. Stevie growls at times like an old delta blues shouter, but for the most part he sings in his distinctive black/white style, which occasionally echoes Paul McCartney...
